On Saturday, we went to catch two shows: Imagine - a soundtrack to peace at 7, and Craft Spells at 10. Imagine was a show with several musicians, some local and some who were playing their own shows for Mosaic. They all did covers and there were quite a few Beatles songs, which I liked very much. It was really lovely. I loved Ramli Sarip's version of With a Little Help from my Friends. He's so cute in that old man way. He's like a jellybean with long scraggly greying hair and the hoarsest voice I have heard. My darling Russian Red played George Harrison's My Sweet Lord. There was also Bossarenova Trio's really interesting Blackbird, and then they all came out to sing Imagine together near the end :') I am in love with Yuna. Stacey Kent too. Voices like honey. I really enjoy hearing artists for the first time at shows. Imagine was a nice, definitely peaceful start to the night.
Craft Spells on the other hand was exciting! Fun! Yay! I haven't been listening to them for very long at all, but I think they are easy to get into and sound like the soundtrack to dreams. It was an hour-long show at the Mosaic Club with not too big a crowd that was a bit intimidating because there weren't really kids our age, but it's ok. We still had fun because the people around us were drunk and dancing and happy. We were not drunk but we were dancing and happy too. My heart broke when Justin finally said the words "last song", but they came back for a great encore and mend it back together. Also, while I like sexy soulful closed-eye singing ala andrew up there, I love eye contact aha ha ha......... (no, I don't care, split-seconds count)
After the show there was a signing session, so Farah and I queued up. This girl in front of us in the line fainted at one point, but when she got to the table she was so okay I wanted to laugh. It didn't take very long to get to the front. I got them to sign the back of my 2012 planner/sketch/list book. Andy first, then Javier, and when it came to Justin, he asked if he could have his own page so he could dedicate something and tried to flip back. I think I panicked slightly because I tend to write stupid shit trying to organise my mind. But anyway.
"When I like someone...?" I haven't felt that for a while. I.... hope I get to use this page before 2012 is over and I get a new planner ha ha ha. I am pathetic ok ok ok thanks, goodbye.
Then Jack signed as well, and Justin says he likes my giraffe shirt and I think they were drunk and then I take a picture with Jack and Justin and get hugs from them. Justin is really nice to hug.
I look so small :-( And Jack and Justin are so red! I would probably have been redder if I didn't have Malay skin.
And the next day, Sunday, yesterday, I had nothing to do so I decided to try to make it for their interview thing at the esplanade library, but I left the house so freaking late and missed it. And I guess I was ok with it. I thought I'd go watch the free performances around. Until........ I saw them. Walking out of Esplanade after the interview. But I was too hesitant to go up to them already. And that sucked and made me feel really annoyed with myself. So I called Farah and I spazzed to her and hated on myself while she tried to persuade me to go up to them but then I lost them. Thank you Farah hahaha I think my brains would have like, melted and leaked out of my nose if I didn't have you to rant to.
K bye. They are on their way to freaking Texas now. Sigh. Come back soon, Craft Spells.
Oh wait. And I met Russian Red's Lourdes too! But it was awkz awkz awkzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :-(
Oh and then I also watched the free performances and had intense eyesex with this sexy keyboardist from some band while he played. I thought their actual performance was quite...... lame.... though...... K.
